Strictly Come Dancing professional Nadiya Bychkova is thought to have met with show bosses to issue a complaint surrounding the ongoing "abuse" investigations - allegedly having "experienced unpleasant behaviour".
The BBC dance competition has had its reputation dragged through the mud throughout this year after Giovanni Pernice was axed due to Amanda Abbington making claims of "bullying" and suffering PTSD from their time together.
Pernice has continued to deny the accusations made against him and vowed to clear his name, being confident that the investigation will be over soon - despite sources claiming it could run into the new year.
Whilst many thought the issue was going to be resolved before the new season begins in September, the show was thrown into more chaos after it was announced that Graziano Di Prima was also axed due to his alleged "abusive" behaviour towards former partner Zara McDermott.
McDermott was forced to issue a statement after an eye-witness came forward to the BBC, with a source alleging that the Italian star had "kicked, hit and spat" at the former Love Island star.
Di Prima issued a statement shortly after he was booted from the reality series and admitted that his intense passion and desire to win could have hindered his training regime and techniques.
Nadiya Bychkova has been on the show since 2017 and issued her worries with Strictly bosses
In another blow, Bychkova - who has starred in the series since 2017 - has reportedly also made a complaint to show bosses, expressing her concerns.
Sources have claimed that the crisis is "worsening by the day", telling the Daily Mail: "Nadiya got in touch out of the blue and wanted to talk to the bosses.
"They are taking every single murmur of a complaint seriously now so she was immediately asked in. She has been on the show for some years so will have seen and lot and possibly also experienced unpleasant behaviour, she will have worked with many people.
"Things really are getting serious now, it is a mess and it is getting worse by the day. This is now the third complaint about some kind of issue on the programme.

"It came as a surprise but now the inquiry into Giovanni Pernice is ongoing it has opened the opportunity for others to complain when perhaps they wouldn't have done before.
"There appears to be some very unhappy people on Strictly. Now there are fears about where this will end, literally, nobody knows."
The news of Bychkova's complaint comes just hours after it was revealed she and her Strictly-pro boyfriend Kai Widdrington had split after two years.
An insider told The Sun: "It's heartbreaking. Kai and Nadiya seemed like the most perfect couple and have been so, so blissfully in love.

"But the pressures of touring - being in each other's space 24/7, and the stress of performing a sell-out show eventually took its toll.
"After a tough few weeks, they sat down together and decided to call it quits. They remain incredibly close and are determined their split will not have any impact on the next series of Strictly - they remain consummate professionals, and nothing will change that."
